 2000 BMW M5,

 My friend purchased this car USED on 5/20/08 with 78,457 miles,  then on 10/03/2013 I purchased it from him with 93,460 miles. It now has 95,600 miles. I don't have any receipts so you can take it or leave it from here on out;  Vehicle history & info:

      Life After 5/20/08: First major job was new clutch somewhere in 2011,  It has had more oil changes then necessary - every 2500 miles, using BMW / Castrol 10W60 TWS Synthetic or same oil but the Liqui Molly brand & Oil/OEM Oil Filter Kit - V8  E39.

      94,000 miles:  NGK V Power Resistor BKR6EKUB Spark Plugs, Mann Air Filters, Hengst fuel filter & Bosch windshield wipers.

      95,200 miles:  Camshaft position sensor (German) from Rock Auto Parts.

      Many items from ECS auto, Turner motor. If you own a German auto - then you need quality parts.

      I have an extra head light assembly- goes with the car, The head lights on the car now both been rebuilt with new positioners.

      New seal around the windshield.  

All equipment listed works with no issues; Air, Heat, Heated/Power Seats, Power Windows/Locks, Alarm, Cruse, Wipers, Turn Signals, Emergency Flashers, Power Sun Roof, Remote Key, External/Interior lights, back-up sensors.

What doesn't work or wrong: Radio won't play seems to be the amp, also the previous owner told me "don't use the tape deck" it eats tapes. The instrument cluster is pixelated, making it - very difficult to read. I just didn't feel like shipping it out for repair. Cup holders are broke. Rust bubbles around gas filler. Paint fading off top of doors. Door dings all over. Drivers door has it the worst, looks like it got kicked by an angry Girl Friend - not that I would know.

The SES, service engine soon, light comes on and as per the Peak R5/FCX-3 reader table 1b code AA -secondary air system, flow too low.What that means is - The secondary air system is a smog reduction set-up to reduce cold start emissions, the air pump does come on however due to carbon build up, air flow is being restricted all the while the air pump is operational which is approximately 30 seconds or so during a cold start. In other words - forget about it.

Drivers side Vanos chatters but typical.

Tires under 3000 miles - Continental Extreme Contact - 


      Included: Peake R5-FCX-3-16 BMW Scan Diagnostic Tool 2000-2007

A test drive is the only way to go, however I to have purchased a car on e-bay sight unseen so I am talking from experience and will try and provide all with too much data and as I look at this M5 I feel I'm being over critical.

 I made a test drive video so check it out, it may or may not be helpful - we kept it rated "G" for all you kiddies.

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.

2016 BMW X5 M is big and bold, not beautiful

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Awesome as it is, the BMW X5 M has never really been an attractive machine. Big and bulgy are the themes here, and that's only more pronounced with the X5's most recent refresh. But no matter, the X5 M has never been about looks - for this machine, it's all about performance, and BMW's hi-po crossover absolutely delivers in this regard.
Under the hood is the familiar 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8, though power has been boosted to 567 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque - healthy increases of 12 and 53, respectively, compared to the outgoing model. Hitting 60 miles per hour is said to take just four seconds, which is damn impressive considering this thing weighs well over 5,000 pounds.
But the X5 M has always been shockingly good to drive, with limits you'll never reach except in the most hardcore track scenarios (which we'd really like to see, by the way). It's not the prettiest thing ever, but that's okay. It's not exactly cheap, though, with prices starting at $99,650. Woof.

BMW and Samsung team up with Galaxy Gear smartwatch that talks to your i3

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Without a doubt, the most impressive thing that BMW showed at CES this year was a driverless M235i drifting flawlessly around a wet track at Las Vegas Speedway. However, that bit of robotic helmsmanship wasn't the only trick the German company had up its sleeve. Or, more to the point, on its wrist.
Taking a page from rival Mercedes-Benz, BMW demonstrated how a "smartwatch," in this case the Samsung Galaxy Gear, could be made to function usefully with a vehicle, in this case the BMW i3. Calling it a "research application," BMW showed off its BMW i Remote App on the Galaxy Gear; the app gives information about state of battery charge, available range and whether or not all the doors and windows are closed or open. Perhaps more useful still, the watch can be used to send a destination to the i3's navigation unit, adjust the climate control in preparation for a trip and can recognize voice commands. Nifty stuff, if not world-shaking, that could help tech-obsessed luxury buyers take a second look at the upcoming BMW EV.
Take a closer look at the watch in action below, or read thru the BMW press release.
